Cossacks of the XXI century. Part of 1
I decided to write this article after reading this opus "Who can and should become a modern Russian Cossack?" (Http://topwar.ru/24417-httpyoungrzdrudbmmimages4140805929625.html)
And after all, really, what are the Cossacks in modern Russia at this moment? Roughly speaking, the society was divided into two parts: 1) as many say, "mummers" and 2) is a force that is on guard of Russia. To argue who is right and who is not is not my goal, I just want to convey my idea to you. The idea of converting from 1-x (charged) to 2-x (force, dangerous force). So, let's begin.
First of all, we will transform all Cossack troops into mobile brigades of constant combat readiness. For example, the Amur Cossack army can be transformed into the 1 Amur Cossack brigade of constant combat readiness. At the same time, it will be necessary to create a new branch of service - the Cossack Troops of the Russian Federation (further - KV RF). They must obey the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, for example, Colonel-General I.I.
So what is the goal of such a transformation? The main goal is the creation of universal troops capable of conducting not only offensive, but also defensive military actions (I will write about the use of the strategy, as well as more detail about the strategy of their use in the next article "Cossacks of the 21st Century. Part 2."). In this connection, it will be necessary to equip this army with the newest Russian weaponsable to conduct "universal" hostilities (I will also write about weapons in the next article).
The Cossack officer must be a stronghold of moral morality, have a sense of patriotism, courage, be an example for the younger generation.
Now, regarding the personnel: Russian citizens are accepted from the 18 years in the HF of the Russian Federation who have the health category A and passed the physical culture exam for 4 and 5 (The exam includes running 3 km, running 100 m, pulling up. Standards are general). Zest KV RF:The Cossack must repay a debt to the Motherland: for ordinary Cossacks, the service life is 5 years, for non-commissioned officers - 10 years, for officers - 20 years. But (!), If an officer wishes to continue his service, he can write a report in the name of the brigade commander in order to transfer him to "secondary service", that is, the officer can become an educator in the Cossack cadet corps, having passed a strict professional selection and soon you will understand why
And here we are smoothly turned to education. If an incomplete and complete secondary, specialized secondary education goes for an ordinary Cossack composition, then in order to go into the category of "sergeant" and "officer", you will have to graduate from a special military Cossack school. For example, the Stavropol Higher Military Cossack School named after Yermak Timofeevich (UMCU named after Yermak Timofeevich). But if a young man (~ 15 years old) wants to become more familiar with the Cossack service, he can enter the Cossack cadet corps. For example, Stavropol Cossack Cadet Corps (SCC). Training should be based on 10 and 11 class. In this school, he will be introduced to the Cossack historytraditions will prepare for the service. Now, regarding the "serious professional selection": what is it for? The answer is simple: the teacher will be obliged to strictly monitor the behavior of their wards. Drank and smoked? WELL DONE! With the whole body, shoulder straps are torn off, the body of the offending guilty. Decided to arrange hazing and show the spirits of their place? FINE! The procedure is the same. Moreover, the reason for his departure is recorded in the student’s personal file. Yes, cruel, I do not argue. But only this way you can bring up a decent officer.
And here is the end of this treatise (a beautiful lyrical digression): Cossacks are equated with the rest of the servicemen of the Russian Army. They will be provided with the same benefits and privileges, the same salary, pension. And another small highlight of my "reform": in the TF of the Russian Federation only people of Russian nationality should undergo it. You, dear readers, ask: "Why is that?", I will answer. The answer is as simple as an orange: no one else can become a Cossack except Russian (I am not a Nazi, nor a racist). Note: by “Russian people” I understand people from three countries: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine.
This is how I see the “Cossack of the 21st Century”. I look forward to your feedback, suggestions and questions in the comments, the most interesting ones I will discuss in my next article.
